it was the first big country where the government had to start tightening its belt. having people work longer, have fewer government services and pay more taxes so that it could get big, big bailouts from the european union. and you can see the people, this is what people feel or do when they're told they have to live on less, and work longer for less. >> it is why these governments are in such a bind, because the central banks and the european community and germany telling the countries you have to crack down on your excess budget, your excess spending, but the people, the population says huh-uh and they're obviously taking to the streets right now. >> that's in greece. we're also watching what's happening in spain overnight. >> we'll keep you updated on that. also ahead on "starting point," it's a case of underage college drinking taken to the extreme. and now, a fraternity is suspended. why this particular kind of partying is really raising the alarms. we'll have a live report. we are all reflections of the people who came before us. the good they did inspires us,

taking work requirements out of government assistance is, in my opinion, a very bad course to take and creates a culture of dependency. we help people who need help. we want to help people that need help. but the idea of removing work requirements i think is a mistake. >> keeping them honest, as you just heard, jim acosta say politic fact gave that rating a pants on fire. the "washington post" gave it four pinocchios and quote, a mitt romney tv ad claims the obama administration has adopted a plan to gut welfare reform by dropping work requirements. the plan does neither of those things. back to the claim governor romney made about correcting ads or statements if there's anything factually wrong or amiss as he said, jim acosta called and e-mailed the romney campaign to ask if they could give any examples of that happening. so far he's gotten no response. he joins me now. so does lori robinson. jim, you pressed governor romney on that welfare ad which independent fact checkers have said was false. he didn't back down. not only did he not back down, he seemed to double down on it. >> tha

government response has frankly been confusing. u.n. ambassador susan rice has said the attacks were not preplanned. secretary clinton said she had absolutely no information or reason to believe there is any basis to suggest that the u.s. ambassador was on an al qaeda hit list as a target. the state department said u.s. officials at that post never passed along the warning from the libyan government on militias and security in benghazi. now the administration appears to be backtracking a little bit, at least on the assertion about whether the attack was preplanned or not. but the take-away right now from the administration, when you take a step back and look at this information and the conflicts in the information, appears to be this. the americans on the ground failed to tell washington about the risks, so it isn't the state department's fault that they didn't stop it. well, why so much confusion? chris coons is on the senate foreign relations committee, he has been briefed on the situation. and first, sir, thank you very much for taki
